  • 200-pin SODIMM form factor drops straight into both slots

System-Specific DDR2 Kit

This 8 GB kit contains two 4 GB SODIMM modules built for the Dell XPS M1730 notebook. Each stick uses 200-pin DDR2 technology running at 667 MHz with CL5 timings and 1.8 V operation. The unbuffered non-ECC design matches the original specification for this legacy platform.

Two-Slot Direct Fit

The pair occupies both memory sockets in the XPS M1730, delivering the full 8 GB maximum the system accepts. No heat spreader is fitted so the modules sit cleanly under the factory cover. A 64-bit operating system is required to address the complete capacity.

Steady CL5 Operation

CAS latency 5 and 5-5-5 timings remain constant during extended workloads because the modules are unbuffered and run at standard voltage. Major-brand DRAM chips provide consistent throughput for everyday multitasking on this older architecture.

Questions about this item

Will the 667 MHz DDR2 modules throttle under sustained load?

The kit runs at standard 1.8 V with CL5 5-5-5 timings and no heat spreader, so thermal throttling is unlikely in normal notebook use.

How much heat or noise do the two 4 GB sticks add when the laptop runs all day?

Unbuffered DDR2 SODIMMs have no moving parts and draw minimal power, so they add no audible noise and negligible extra heat.

What must the Dell XPS M1730 already have for this 8 GB kit to work?

The notebook needs two free 200-pin SODIMM slots and a 64-bit operating system to address the full 8 GB capacity.
